Start the New Year with a New Look

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the many celebrities who have recently embraced the pixie cut.

Tired of spending so much time blow-drying and styling your hair each morning? If so, join Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Williams, Ginnifer Goodwin, Anne Hathaway, Kiera Knightley and the other celebrities who are bravely chopping their locks for a bold, new look.

The low-maintenance pixie cut was first made popular in the 1950s and 1960s when Vidal Sassoon gave the look to Mia Farrow. It is now known as one of the salon’s most iconic styles. Recently, the cut is creating attention on runways and streets across the country for those who are willing to try something completely different.

Some pixie cuts are as short as a half inch, while others are as long as two to three inches. Just wash, add a little texturizer and go for that messy, boyish look. Or, slick it back with shaping wax or control paste for something more sophisticated. This cut is an especially good option if your hair has been over colored or processed. You won’t believe how great it feels to have slick and healthy hair. Check out our Pinterest board to see additional photos.

Another similar option is a “disconnected” or “overlay” cut that features dramatic length differences between different sections of your hair. This edgy look varies in shape but is most defined by extreme lengths that are not blended together. Miley Cyrus and Pink have rocked many varieties of disconnected cuts in recent years.
